Organisers have since confirmed the rumour to be true with festival chief Bob Angus
commenting, "Fans will naturally be disappointed but of course - the artist's health must come first. The acts on the
V Stage are sure to play their set of their lives so fans have a fantastic Sunday night at V Festival, Chelmsford."

Snow Patrol are to take the headline slot at the Essex leg of V Festival, while The Killers
will still bring the Staffordshire event to a close.
